I wish they would add the English dubs to Netflix too. Both Kill Ka Lill and SAO II have been streaming on Netflix for ages but they're still both subtitled only for some reason.

Oh Hulu? Great...joy happiness and everything that comes with it. Aniplex really doesn't like Canadians lol. Guess I'll still be waiting to watch Kill la kill.

Yeah and OPM and AoT are still subbed as far as I know. Netflix is really weird with how they handle dubs and licensed shows in general.

Just a few examples: They just got the final few episodes of FMAB around a month ago even though that show has been done for years, same thing with Fairy Tail. Netflix still only has the first season (the first 48 episodes) and they are using Madman's promo instead of Funi's. Then there is the fact that they don't have the dub for Gunslinger Girl (at first I thought it was because Funi no longer had the license, but that's clearly not the case), and it took them a while to get the dubs for both Bleach and Naruto as well.

Time to rewatch KLK! I’ve heard good things about the dub, but Aniplex hasn’t made it legal to stream at all, so I’ve been waiting.

Not to mention Netflix had Hunter x Hunter for three years and never added past episode 100 (it has 148 episodes).

It's about time. I've been waiting for the English Dub of SAO 2 for legal streaming forever. I missed it originally on Toonami and did not want to pay AoA outrageous pricing. Now only if they'd do the same thing for Ordinal Scale, but I'd probably have to wait another 3 years for that. Haha

It's the same in the UK, only YLIA and KLK don't have their dubs on.

I've already seen Kill la Kill's dub, but I'm glad they're making it available for streaming at last. I wish English dubs were added to streaming services more often.

It's also good to hear Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V is finally getting added to Hulu. I figured it was coming after Nicktoons saying they were skipping the second season altogether. 4K Media would be wise to start releasing their dubs on there from the start, considering how badly Nicktoons has been treating it.

I'm with ya on that, I'm so glad I can watch Arc-V's Second Season legally now. And hopefully when VRAINS gets dubbed, they can put it on a another channel like Disney Anime hyper, it's working for Pokemon.

I'm assume FMA got caught up in the conflict between Aniplex and Funimation but now Aniplex has complete control over FMA so now it's probably easier for Netflix to get all the episodes.

Sadly it sounds like VRains is stuck with Nicktoons. Nicktoons said part of why they're skipping Arc-V's second season is due to a new series premiering in fall.

Question:

If Hulu is getting dubbed Kill La Kill, Sword Art Online II, and the first two seasons of Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V, does that mean Yahoo View gets them too?

After searching for a couple minutes on [url]because.moe[/url], it does not appear that any Aniplex title streaming on Hulu is on Yahoo.

Still holding out for a license-rescue of Kill la Kill from a company like Discotek or Funimation, since the Aniplex discs were too expensive.

I agree a hella lot. I wish AoA would give their right to a company whose dvd/blu-ray prices DON'T cost an arm or a leg.
